The only thing we can do is to hazard a hypothesis, to create a mythological figure, call it Human Personality, and hope that circumstances will not, by destroying us, prove our imaginative guesswork too hopelessly wrong. But myth for myth, Human Personality is preferable to God. We do at least know something of Human Personality, whereas of God we know nothing and, knowing nothing, are at liberty to invent as freely as we like.”

Vamos, não chores.
A infância está perdida.
A mocidade está perdida.
Mas a vida não se perdeu.
O primeiro amor passou.
O segundo amor passou.
O terceiro amor passou.
Mas o coração continua.
Perdeste o melhor amigo.
Não tentaste qualquer viagem.
Não possuis carro, navio, terra.
Mas tens um cão.
Algumas palavras duras,
em voz mansa, te golpearam.
Nunca, nunca cicatrizam.
Mas, e o humour?
A injustiça não se resolve.
À sombra do mundo errado
murmuraste um protesto tímido.
Mas virão outros.
Tudo somado, devias
precipitar-te, de vez, nas águas.
Estás nu na areia, no vento...
Dorme, meu filho.”

“Consonance, says the dictionary, is the combination of several tones into a harmonic unit. Dissonance results from the deranging of this harmony by the addition of tones foreign to it. One must admit that all this is not clear. Ever since it appeared in our vocabulary, the word 'dissonance' has carried with it a certain odor of sinfulness. Let us light our lantern: in textbook language, dissonance is an element of transition, a complex or interval of tones that is not complete in itself and that must be resolved to the ear's satisfaction into a perfect consonance.”
